So, now we just have to decide how to quilt it, which stencils to use. I have laid out some of the choices that i have. Also laid out all the things i will need while hand quilting. Different size needles, some mornings I will have to start with an 8 and then move to a smaller needle 10 or 12 as I go along. Also a needle puller for the seams, and my markers I use a fons and porter pencil, dark lead for the white and white lead for the dark blue. And the green tape is if i want to do some cross hatching, I will mark my lines with that.
I don't know it this is clear, but hope you enjoy seeing inside what a hand quilter does to get ready. Thanks for looking into my world! supplies I will need [ATTACH=CONFIG]37367[/ATTACH] Stencils [ATTACH=CONFIG]37368[/ATTACH] more stencils [ATTACH=CONFIG]37369[/ATTACH] |
Well done! This would be a great tutorial for someone who has never done it before. Have fun with your stitching.

Thank YOU sooooo much this has been a wonderful tutorial. I have a frame and this has given me wonderful hints that I have not been using. Your quilt is beautiful, I would love to see some of the quilting as you go..
Thanks Again and have fun quilting. |
Wowzers Ninnie! That is brilliant! I want one!!!!! :D :D :D
Only problem I can see is what happens if a large, furry object ie Barney Cat jumps up on there? I just KNOW he'd think it's a new bed just for him! :shock: :mrgreen: |
Wow, that is quite a process! Thanks for showing us!

I can really appreciate all the work that goes into hand quilting, but I don't have the patience for it. :lol:

Thanks for posting this! I wish I could use a quilt frame...

Ninnie, you are a fantastic teacher! You so obviously know what you are doing...and you make it look so easy that I want to try! That pattern was one of my DGM's favorites and one I have on my "to do" lists...yours is beautiful!
Thanks so much for sharing with all of us! |
Ninnie,
I just wanted to say that you have motivated me to go up to the attic ( actually have my daughter climb through the scuttle hole to the attic) and get a quilt frame down that my friend gave me a long time ago. Have never set it up. I will have a queen size quilt to do and that will make it so much easier than the hoop. Hope it works and has all it's pieces. I know it is not nearly as nice as yours. Thanks.... liblueeyes |
WONDERFUL DEMO....Keep us posted.
